We experienced a curative case, who was a fifty nine-year old man suffered from multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) due to Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) caused-mediastinitis following cardiac surgery against atrial septal defect (ASD) and tricuspid regurgitation. We successfully treated him with mediastinal irrigations by a large quantities of physiological saline containing 1% Povidone iodine (PI) and MRSA sensitive antibiotics as well as artificial supports such as plasma pheresis and hemodialysis against failure organs. It may be due to the prompt treatment with mediastinal irrigation and well timed dosage of sensitive antibiotics against the origin of sepsis that such a serious patient like this case could be recovered from MODS and DIC. In addition, it may be very effective to irrigate with 1% PI against MRSA-caused-mediastinitis.
